title: A modified anomaly detection method for capsule endoscopy images using non-linear color conversion and Higher-order Local Auto-Correlation (HLAC).
abstract: Capsule endoscopy is a patient-friendly endoscopy broadly utilized in gastrointestinal examination. However, the efficacy of diagnosis is restricted by the large quantity of images. This paper presents a modified anomaly detection method, by which both known and unknown anomalies in capsule endoscopy images of small intestine are expected to be detected. To achieve this goal, this paper introduces feature extraction using a non-linear color conversion and Higher-order Local Auto Correlation (HLAC) Features, and makes use of image partition and subspace method for anomaly detection. Experiments are implemented among several major anomalies with combinations of proposed techniques. As the result, the proposed method achieved 91.7% and 100% detection accuracy for swelling and bleeding respectively, so that the effectiveness of proposed method is demonstrated.
